Club Time Trial Results We have circulated the Club time trial results where Steve Came was the new Club Champ. The results and photos are on the website - please refer. I would like to make special mention of Jon Peterson. When you are a golfer and you can shoot your age around a golf course this is deemed highly commendable. For example, a 70 year old hitting 70 or even par around a golf course is a phenomenal effort. Jon Peterson is aged 59 and he rode the 40km course in blustery conditions in 59m51s. WAIKATO BAY OF PLENTY INDIVIDUAL TIME TRIAL CHAMPIONSHIPS Saturday 13th April Waikato Bay of Plenty Individual Time Trial Championships. What do we pray for at a Time Trial Championship? No wind, no rain and sunshine. We got the sunshine and no rain and a mean wind. Groveling into a head wind watching the speedo below 33km/h at times does not bode well for a fast time. Especially when the only bit of tail wind was in the last few kilometres. My extra excuses are a dog running out in front of me and the fertiliser truck sending clouds of fertiliser to clog up the lungs. Since each grade races in the same conditions those excuses are best kept quiet for the race of truth. As usual Morrinsville Wheelers ran a very good event with help from Chief Commissaire Mark Ireland and timekeeper Brian Kelly. Tauranga members performed well in the medal haul with: Gold medals: Ari Finucane (U13 boys, 10km, 20.02)) Courteney Lowe (U19 Women, 40km, 1.10.10) Jon Peterson (Masters 6 Men, 40km, 1.00.32). Silver medals: Rebecca Wilson (U15 Girls, 10km, 20.28) Philip Hudson (U19 Men, 40km, 56.01) Heath Lett (Masters 1 Men, 40km, 58.30) Mark Crowther (Masters 3 Men, 56.48) Richard Bates (Masters 4 Men, 59.44) Bronze medals: Don Robinson (Masters 7 Men, 40km 1.15.04) WAIKATO BAY OF PLENTY HALF DISTANCE CHAMPIONSHIPS Tauranga had an 11 strong team to contest 9 grades of the Half Distance Champs. Those racing in the morning faced a beautiful but bitterly cold start. There was no wind and white frost on the surrounding fields. Racing was on deserted roads in the middle of nowhere. In our 40km we met one vehicle coming towards us total. Highlights of the day were: Gold medals: Ari Finucane (U13 Boys) Courteney Lowe (U19 Women) Richard Bates (Vet 4 Men) Jon Peterson (Vet 6 Men). Courteney's win was in a four up sprint against some pretty tough girls. Toughest battle probably went to Mark Crowther in Masters 3 Men. Mark had to race Dave Mann so the tactics of wearing the opposition out through repeated merciless attacks was not going to work. For those who donТt know Dave, he raced professionally winning many international titles including the UK 100km Two Up Time Trial National title in a time of 1hr 58 minutes without tri bars. Mark finished 3rd in the sprint. Other commendable placings were Andy Collins 3rd Masters 2 Men and Keith Thompson 3rd Vet 5 Men. A highly successful well run day. Thank you Rotorua Cycling Club.

Keep up the good work. CLUB JERSEYS Our Club jerseys are on display and can be purchased from Koops Cycles, Cameron Road, Tauranga. Koops Cycles are holding our stock for us and these are being sold at the ClubТs cost price. The jerseys are good quality Ultimo brand jerseys and we would like to encourage as many members as possible to purchase a Club jersey. SPIN CLASSES Spin classes as being run by Club member Mike Bosomworth every Tuesday, commencing at 6.00pm at the Maungatapu Primary School Hall, Maungatapu Road, Tauranga and there is a further Spin class starting at 6.30pm on Thursdays at Avanti Plus, 2 Owens Place, Mount Maunganui. Take your bike, a trainer, drink bottle and towel. With the shorter daylight hours it is difficult to get a ride during the week and the Spin classes are therefore ideal. COST OF FUEL With the cost of 91-octane fuel going over $2 a litre, running a car is getting very expensive. Based on an average sedan that around town does 10 litres of fuel per 100 km, it is costing you 20 cents per km for fuel cost alone. We can see a resurgence in the use of cycles for commuter traffic. If you are riding your bike over the winter months, commuting or of an evening training, make sure you have good lights on the bike both front and rear, preferably additional lights on your helmet, and that you have bright reflective clothing on. BE SAFE OUT THERE.
